Taylor Leier News
Leier was a fourth-round pick back in 2012 and has registered just seven points (2G / 5A) in 55 career NHL games with the Flyers. The 24-year-old has performed well in the AHL, picking up 10 goals and nine assists in 34 games this season.
Leier was in the lineup for the last three games, recording one assist, but will go back to being a scratch tonight vs. the Canadiens. Leier will be replaced by Dale Weise, who draws in for the first time since January 4th.
Leier has recorded just one goal and two assists in 21 games this season, so tonight he will be replaced by Jori Lehtera in Pittsburgh—Lehtera has struggled just as much as Leier.
Leier missed Saturday’s game vs. Edmonton, but will draw back into the lineup tonight vs. Anaheim. Leier has had a slow start to the season, picking up just one assist in 11:57 TOI/GM through seven contests. He is expected to replace Matt Read in the lineup.
Leier appeared in the last eight games with the Flyers and has one goal and one assist in 10 games with Philadelphia this season. With Matt Read back in the lineup tonight, Leier will return to the AHL.
Leier has just one goal and one assist in eight games since being called-up, but has averaged just 8:28 TOI per game. On Wednesday, it looks like he will get a bigger opportunity as he skated with Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek during Tuesday’s practice.
Leier, 22, was a fourth round pick (117 overall) in 2012 and is expected to make his season debut on Tuesday. Leier has been recalled because Matt Read (upper-body) will miss approximately four weeks. Leier has picked up 20 points (6G / 14A) in 22 games with Lehigh Valley this season, but has failed to record a point in his first six NHL games.
Leier, 22, has one assist in three games with Lehigh Valley this season. The former fourth overall pick (117th overall in 2012) has no points in six career games. There’s no word whether or not Leier will play on Tuesday.
Leier, 21, was a fourth round pick (117th overall) in 2012. Leier, who is in his second year with Lehigh Valley, has registered nine points (4G / 5A) in 14 games with the Phantoms. Leier will make his NHL debut on Saturday vs. Carolina.
